I would have never in a million years guessed this was a townhouse in Notting Hill, London. But it makes total sense once learning this home was designed by the gurus of the reclaimed, the salvaged, the well-worn. Retrouvius, you’ve created magic converting this city home into a piece of history. Lime-washed walls, a marble sink from Turkey, silk fabric from Fez, pine planks from a cheese factory, a 15th century fireplace, onyx from a bankrupt chimney shop and many other treasures make this home truly unique.

I sometimes feel the industrial interior trend has been completely overdone. But every once in a while a project catches my eye and I realize I still appreciate the moodiness and reusability of this style. Such as Pallet restaurant in Salt Lake City designed a few years ago by the consistently awesome cityhomeCOLLECTIVE. I’d LOVE to enjoy an evening here (post-pandemic of course).

Eugene Kolomiychenko of EK Design sent us a message recently about some of his projects. His studio in Odessa, Ukraine provides services in space design, 3D graphics, sculpture, furniture design, product design, decorations. Here are a couple of spaces he designed – a men’s-only beauty salon appropriately named VERT and a wine bar that both coincidentally if located here in Ontario would now be able to be frequented (as long as the wine gallery had a patio). Modern and sleek, rustic and chic.

It’s all about the balance between landscape and architecture and the transformative action of a circle amidst all those straight lines. Oh and people being able to actually use their gardens. Stockholm by Rich Landscapes.

The brief was to reinvent this narrow terrace house into a modern inside outside home. The open plan living area flows seamlessly into the stylish courtyard while the modern kitchen has a birdseye view of all the proceedings. Living large in a stylish small space.
